One-time tower between #Kõismäe and #Loewenschede towers. Built similarly and possibly at the same time as #Nunnadetagune (and #Saunatorn?). Fallen into disrepair and demolished by 1842 at the latest, only traces remain.

#TeutonicKnights came from across ‘#Germany’ and various towns or castles were called Landskron(e). Tower built on the #VäikeLinnus (small fortress, early 14th C, later to become #Toompea citadel, mid 14th C) along the lines of #PikkHermann. See also #Loewenschede torn.
